up to 256 CPUs. 256 is the initial limit on the basic interrupt

CPUs so far, since that’s the highest number of CPUs you can bring up in

The first release of LibreSSL portable has been released. LibreSSL
can be found in the LibreSSL directory of your favorite OpenBSD mirror.
http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/LibreSSL has it, and other mirrors
will soon.
libressl-2.0.0.tar.gz has been tested to build on various versions of
Linux, Solaris, Mac OSX, and FreeBSD.
This is intended as an initial release to allow the community to start
using and providing feedback. We will be adding support for
other platforms as time and resources permit.
As always, donations (http://www.openbsdfoundation.org/donations.html)
are appreciated to assist in our efforts.
Enjoy,

We have released an update, LibreSSL 2.0.1
This release includes a number of portability fixes based on the
initial feedback we have received from the community. This includes
among other things two new configure options to set OPENSSLDIR and
ENGINESDIR. We have removed a few hardcoded compiler options that
were problematic on some systems as well as -Werror. We have also
re-synced with the latest OpenBSD sources as a number of issues
were fixed upstream. This release also includes pkg-config support.
As noted before, we welcome feedback from the broader community.
Enjoy,
-Bob

Also starting with this release the directory includes SHA256

Some dports packages can’t be installed in combination with others. The
easy way to find the conflict without doing the install? Look for CONFLICTS= in the Makefile. If you don’t have the dports tree on disk, you can always look online.
